Chapter 20 Insults at the Family Banquet
Yan Mo originally wanted to embarrass Yan Xi, but he didn't expect Gu Moyan to protect her so much. He was both jealous and angry. He was about to speak up and continue to make things difficult for him, but suddenly he felt Han Deru secretly pulling her hand under the table.
Yan Mo turned his head to look at his mother with an unhappy expression, but saw Han Deru secretly winked at her and told her not to speak anymore.
Yan Mo has always been accustomed to being arrogant, so how could he still pay attention to Han Deru's dissuasion?
The more Han Deru advised her, the more angry she felt towards Yan Xi.
When anger accumulates to a certain level, reason will temporarily retreat.
"Yan Xi, what's there to be proud of you? I wondered if you were still like a follower, just followed Brother Chen!" Yan Mo finally couldn't help blurting out.
Yan Xi's eyes paused slightly, but it quickly covered it, and his expression was calm.
Han Deru's face changed instantly, and he quickly whispered to dissuade him, "Momo, don't talk nonsense."
"Am I wrong? She was pestering Brother Chen in a silly manner to cling to power. Unfortunately, Brother Chen finally chose to get engaged to me, which made her dream shatter. She is just a woman who is fickle and can betray everything for the sake of profit. What can I be proud of? If it weren't for our Yan family..."
Yan Mo kept releasing the anger in his heart, and the words he said were completely unthinkable.
Yan Xi's face remained unchanged, her eyes were calm without any turbulence, and she seemed to have no reaction to her insult.
However, her little hand under the table quietly clasped a little, and her slender fingertips turned pale due to the force.
Gu Moyan lowered his eyes slightly, and saw all Yan Xi's small movements at a glance.
A deep meaning gradually emerged in his black eyes, and his thin lips slowly pursed.
"Stop!" An angry voice suddenly interrupted Yan Mo, causing the restaurant to fall into silence in an instant.
Yan Mo was stunned and subconsciously looked at the source of the sound, but saw that Yan Zhengxiong's old face had darkened, and his expression was filled with anger.
Yan Mo's reason was then quickly regained his mind, and he felt a sense of fear unconsciously.
In her impression, her father has always been gentle and regards her as the pearl in his hand. He rarely gets angry with her, and even gets angry is a minority.
However, now, her father, who has always been favoring her, scolded her angrily, and his face was horrifyingly dark.
Yan Mo's little face turned pale unconsciously. Just as he wanted to explain, he suddenly heard Yan Zhengxiong's impatient voice sound.
"Momo, since you are not feeling well, please go back upstairs to rest early."
Yan Mo suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she was a little disbelief, "But, Dad, I..."
"I'll let you go back and rest!" Yan Zhengxiongyi turned his head and interrupted her angrily.
Yan Mo froze for a few seconds, then felt a little aggrieved, and couldn't help but turn to look at Ye Muchen beside him, wanting to ask him for help, "Brother Chen..."
After saying a few words, Yan Mo felt that all the prepared words could not help but block the throat.
The man who had always been gentle and elegant had no smile on his face at this moment, and the look he looked at her was a coldness that had never been seen before.
Yan Mo was suddenly shocked and suddenly felt as if he was about to lose something. He unconsciously wanted to reach out and grabbed Ye Muchen's sleeve.
However, when her fingers were about to touch Ye Muchen, his arm slightly raised and barely avoided Yan Mo.
Yan Mo felt surprised and looked at Ye Muchen in disbelief, but saw that he had already stood up.
"Sorry, uncle, there are some urgent matters in the company that need to be dealt with. I'm afraid I have to take the lead." Ye Muchen apologized slowly.
Yan Zhengxiong seemed a little surprised when he heard this. After thinking about it, he nodded, "Okay, you go back first."
Ye Muchen nodded lightly at Yan Zhengxiong, then took a few steps back and turned away.
Yan Mo Zhengzheng watched Ye Muchen's figure gradually disappear in front of him, and his little face suddenly turned pale. He gritted his teeth in grievance and left the banquet.
Yan Zhengxiong ignored Yan Mo, but turned his eyes to look at him
He took Gu Moyan and said with a little apology, "Momo was not feeling well today and was a little out of control, which made President Gu laugh."
Gu Moyan's eyes were cold and his thin lips curled up lightly, "It seems that Miss Yan Mo often feels uncomfortable."
Although his tone was not too slow and seemed to have little emotion, the voice was extremely cold. Even Yan Zhengxiong, who was used to the strong wind and waves, could not help but feel a strong chill, and went down from beginning to end.
Yan Zhengxiong's old face was embarrassed, but he was worried about Gu Moyan's identity and forced a smile, "Momo has always been spoiled by her mother, so he has a bad temper. I hope Mr. Gu will not bother with her."
"Yes, it's all my fault. I'm spoiled that child too much." Han Deru quickly echoed beside him.
She knows how to judge the situation very well. Yan Zhengxiong is already a little embarrassed by Yan Mo. If she blindly protects Yan Mo, Yan Zhengxiong may be really angry. Not only will Yan Mo suffer, but she will probably be angry.
So, she had to stand in Yan Zhengxiong's position and continue to speak according to his words.
Gu Moyan didn't say anything, but just drank the tea in front of him gracefully and calmly, without even the intention of raising his eyelids.
Yan Zhengxiong's old face froze slightly, and his expression became more and more awkward.
Yan Xi's mouth raised slightly, and he reached out and gently put his hand on Gu Moyan's arm, and asked softly, "Mo Yan, don't you want me to accompany you to the evening banquet? What color of dress do you think I look good?"
When Yan Zhengxiong heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. The eyes of Yan Xi changed slightly, as if they were much more kind than before.
Gu Moyan slowly raised his eyes and saw the woman in front of him tilting her face with a playful smile on her lips, and her eyes couldn't help but move slightly.
